The "trade mark" emoji (™️) features the letters "TM" in a bold, compact font, encased in a minimalist setup that signifies legal protection for brands. It's widely used to denote ownership of a trademark, often after a brand name or logo. For instance, companies like Nike utilize it to safeguard their iconic swoosh logo. This symbol not only protects commercial interests but also reflects a cultural connection to creativity and innovation. Interestingly, it underscores the evolving relationship between branding and identity in our modern economy. The emoji version is 0.6, released in 2015.
